_________________________________________

The IEP Model is a free, public data model for describing solar and energy efficiency projects. Software vendors and companies implementing their own software solutions build their software to read and write standardized data using the IEP Model, thereby lowering the risk and cost of integrating software, and enabling their application to participate in a growing ecosystem of participating vendors.

The IEP Model was originally developed through a California Solar Initiative RD&D grant. In an effort to gain greater commercial adoption, the US Department of Energy's SunShot program has contributed funding to enhance the standard and demonstrate commercial viability.
